The Real Deal

Hello everyone!  Today is the start of Week 4 of working from home, and as of today, Missouri has implemented an official stay at home order.  It's definitely a little scary and crazy out there, but I thought I would share some things that have been keeping me sane and helping me keep my mind off of all of these crazy things going on in the world right now. PODCASTS //  I've always loved podcasts, but I am loving them even more now!  I pretty much always have one on when I'm doing something around the house, taking a shower, even just sitting and playing on my iPad with one on!  I'm currently subscribed to The Morning Toast, Girls Gotta Eat, Potterless, My Favorite Murder, Gals on the Go, and Office Ladies.  I pretty much always have one on hand and ready to listen to, and it's nice to get some insight on other people's lives and just hear them talk about something other than the virus for an hour! CHILL HITS PLAYLIST ON SPOTIFY //  This is my ...

I used to to favorites posts every month, but I've been slacking on those kind of recently.  So, since it's been awhile since I've updated you on what I've been loving lately, here is a large list of what I am currently loving right now! Apple Watch Nylon Sport Loop // I've been looking for a new Apple Watch band for awhile.  The silicone band that my watch came with was getting really dirty and gross, and I bought a magnetic band last year which I liked, but the magnet would get stuck on random objects which would result in my band loosening or picking up other metal objects along the way.  One of my friends from work had this nylon Apple Watch band which is pretty much what I had been looking for!  It's super affordable, stylish and cute, and can be worn to work out and for everyday use.  The only down side is that it's probably not the best if you like to wear your watch when you swim, but I usually take mine off when I go swimming so that wasn...

I seriously can not believe that it is already July!  This summer has flown  by and it is already time for another favorites post.  There is definitely a lot of products and more that I have been loving this past month, so let's get right to it! This picture is actually from my favorite day of the year: the Blues Stanley Cup Championship parade!  Seriously the best day with my parents and with the team! ONE // Wildflower Phone Case I have an iPhone 8+, and the silicone case I had was getting pretty banged up because I had had it for quite awhile.  I watch Brooke Miccio on YouTube, and I had seen her phone case but could never figure out where it was from.  Well, after browsing Wildflower Cases, I stumbled upon it and immediately purchased this phone case !  It is so cute, I love the border around the phone, and it feels very protective for my phone.  It is currently in low stock, so I suggest getting it quick if you have an iPhone 8+! T...

Woah, long time no see!  School and being a senior has genuinely been taking over my life, and my last blog post was posted the day I moved back into school.  And now, I have two days of classes left, and genuinely missed this little outlet that I made myself, even if no one reads this.  But you know, that's not why I made a blog.  I made a blog because I like to write, and I get so much inspiration from the YouTubers that I watch and the blogs that I read.  So, I'm back, and pretty happy about it. So for my first post back, I want to talk about podcasts.  I am a HUGE podcast girl and listen to them pretty much all day every day.  I listen to them when I'm laying in bed at night or on a slow morning, when I'm getting ready, when I'm driving, when I'm walking to class, and everything in between.  I've been getting bored of music because I listen to the same songs all the time.  But podcasts come out with new episodes weekly, or daily, so the...
